Many of the people who voted for America's political disaster are paying no attention to the unfolding disaster. They don't follow the news. They think the libs are getting owned and that's enough for them. They're clueless about the damage they've done to everyone, including themselves.

The lies are endless: DHS data shows the Trump admin knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans sent to a foreign prison were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent.

Both the DKs — that’s @davidkaye.bsky.social and me, not Jello Biafra — weighed in on this one.

🛑 STOP FEDERAL AGENTS FROM ZIP-TYING CHILDREN I emailed Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, and my Rep Mike Thompson regarding the outrageous treatment of migrant children in San Antonio. I have attached a copy of the email I sent out. Please feel free to use this text or edit as you see fit.

I thought more people would be into my article, but I think it was just fun for folks to believe Musk is leaving. And they didn't want to hear that he's probably lying, as usual. But there you go, Trump has another senior moment where the truth slips out. www.salon.com/2025/05/30/e...

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

Rape and incest are not fucking choices!

Who is running against Senator Joni Ernst and where can I contribute to them?

The ghost of Wernher von Braun would like word.

Veterans are retired early because of the wounds/injuries they receive. They’re entitled to disability compensation, but then their retirement pay is reduced $ 4 $ because of that disability compensation. They’re penalized for being wounded. buff.ly/apEzu9O #WoundedVetsTax

At her town hall, when the crowd says people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, Joni Ernst responds "well we all are going to die." Fun Fact: She is up for re-election. We WILL hold her accountable. Let me introduce you to the Dem that is running against her: @sageforiowa.bsky.social

AIR FORCE NONE? 🥴 Trump’s Air Force One deal with Qatar isn’t final. Turns out he asked for the jet—they didn’t offer. And now Qatar wants a memo of understanding signed with DC first.

The core promise of MAGA remains what it’s always been: “We’ll hurt people for you and give you permission to enjoy it, we’ll let you break all the rules, we’ll let you stop thinking entirely, you just have to obey the leader”

Americans are rightfully worried that they are going to die if Medicaid and Medicare are slashed by Rs. Joanie Ernst response to that at a TH was “we’re all going to die”. The callousness of her response is the same as other Rs. They don’t care if we die so long as they get their tax cuts. #MomSky

I took an oath when I joined the military to defend this country from threats both foreign and domestic. Now, as a Veteran, that commitment hasn’t ended—my dedication to protecting our nation continues, especially when it comes to standing against domestic threats. 👇🏾

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Early voting is already underway in San Antonio’s pivotal mayoral race, and MAGA donors are doing everything they can to attack Gina Ortiz Jones. Gina was raised in San Antonio by a public school teacher. She grew up on reduced school lunches, earned an ROTC scholarship to college, and served in...

FLORIDA: “Get on the f*cking ground!” Masked ICE raiders raid a construction site like they’re raiding a violent cartel. Trump voter: “This isn’t what I voted for. This will absolutely kill the economy in construction. I thought he was going after gang members and criminals.”

Would be good if reporters ask the administration why they let a man they knew was constantly using psychoactive drugs to take a hatchet to the federal government and cause uncountable death and immiseration

Best laugh in a long while.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority Of Venezuelans Sent To Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted Of US Crimes talkingpointsmemo.com/news/deporte...

This mysteriously deleted 2004 Saturday Night Live skit literally predicted the future. TACO - “Trump always chickens out”

President Trump issued a flurry of clemency actions on Wednesday, wiping the convictions or cutting sentences for more than two dozen people, including those who have expressed political support or echoed the president in claiming they had been unfairly targeted.

Republicans have included 300 MILLION in the budget for......Trump's golf trips. You heard that right. But there is no money to feed hungry kids school lunch.

RFK Jr. is asking the wrong question about autism. Here’s the right one. https://twp.ai/4imsMY

A natural stones quarry in Indonesia’s West Java province collapsed on several people who were working inside, killing at least two people and leaving several workers missing, officials said.

Today, Dr Jenn Conti and I wrote about Adriana Smith’s brain death diagnosis and how Georgia’s anti-abortion law treats women as little more than fetal incubators. Having a uterus shouldn’t mean you get treated less human. www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

They were always going to go after the easy targets. These lazy fucks don’t want to chase actual criminals.

One reason I really like supporting abortion funds is that they are inherently very low-overhead. Their staffs are relatively tiny. They basically exist to get money from helpers to needers. idk if y'all can relate, but it makes me feel more connected to the people we're helping.

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social thank you for sharing this When do we start all the winning? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

BREAKING: The Court of International Trade said Trump broke the rules. Another judge said IEEPA doesn’t give him tariff powers. So what’s happening? The appeals court hit the brakes on justice—so these bullshit tariffs can keep hurting American businesses. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/liv...

Let’s not forget: He picked these judges via Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. And now when they uphold the law instead of sucking up to him, he’s crying “destroyed presidency.” That’s what losing looks like when you’ve rigged the game but still can’t win. 🤦🏻‍♀️

1. A transgender man was detained in South Carolina for using the restroom that Republicans want him to use. Officers allegedly hurled slurs at him for doing so. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-man-...

The administrative goons in the Trump WH are literally just making shit up knowing they’ll get caught - and they couldn’t care less. They all know: the more lies and chaos, the more BS floods the zone, the more Trump can slip in truly corrupt, evil policy. www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/h...

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Please follow @drannieandrews.com She’s going to run again Lindsey Graham for the Senate. She’s amazing and honestly if anyone has a shot against him it’s her! She’s smart, to the point and dedicated. If anyone can do this it’s her! I’m beyond happy about this 🩵🩵🩵
